Prepare the Veggies: Start by giving your carrots and beetroots a good wash. While peeling is optional, leaving the skin on adds additional nutrition. Grate them into a large bowl, mixing the vivid colors and textures.

Add Sweetness and Crunch: Finely chop the scallions and incorporate them into the mix. Include dried cranberries for a tart-sweet flavor and walnuts for a satisfying crunch.

Whisk the Dressing: In a separate bowl, combine the olive oil, apple vinegar, honey, mustard, salt, and black pepper. This dressing is the key component that harmonizes all the flavors.
